Our Valentine’s Day

We started out the day getting Lilly to school. Steven has Mondays off so he took her like usual. She’s always a little sad to go to school on days that Daddy has off. But off to school she went. She had a “Friendship Party” at school because they don’t celebrate holidays in her class. We helped her make “friendship” cards for her friends at school.

 While she was at school we went to the BX and got a couple of gifts for the girls and Steven. And then at home, I made cupcakes for us to decorate when Lilly got home. After school, we took the kiddos for haircuts and then headed off base to make another payment for our bedroom furniture. Steven then remembered that the girls really wanted purses for Valentine’s Day so we took a detour into Pop’s Leather. They make fake designer bags and other leather related things. The girls saw some pink Coach clutches that they really wanted. While we were looking at all the bags I wanted, Steven found the girls some Gucci purses. I don’t think think he knows what door he just opened. They girls have carrying around their fake Coach clutches in their fake Gucci bags since they opened them. They sit with them on the couch and hang them on their chairs for dinner. They’re too funny.

They were also thrilled to get some Hallmark stuffed animals and cards. Steven got me some tulips, my favorites, and a beautiful basket. I got him the Playstation Move. He has wanted one since before they came out, but has managed to pysch himself out when it came to buying one. He had a lot of fun trying it out last night after the girls went to bed.

Speaking of going to bed, the two big girls get tucked in and go to sleep on their own, but when they were younger and Steven wasn’t home for bedtime, I let them fall asleep in our bed and then put them in their own bed. We were set to do the same thing for Ruby even though Daddy is home for bedtime for the time being. Well last night after we tucked the big girls in, Ruby kept walking down to their room and pointing to their beds. After the 15th time of taking her out of there, we jokingly said goodnight to her and laid her in her crib. We really thought that she would only be in there for a couple of minutes before the tears started flowing. BUT she didn’t even peep. She went straight to sleep. We were so mad! We really like to cuddle with her at night. It’s the only time she sits still and we can just cuddle with her. I know that we are both hoping it was just a fluke and tonight she’ll lay down with us before she goes to sleep.

We had a wonderful day!
